READ BEFORE WATCHING:
WHAT?! A new, COMPLETE crossover from Shade?!
Crazy, I know. This one's been around for a really long time, though I've never uploaded a preview of it. In fact, it's been sitting at about 90% done for about 5 or 6 months now. I worked on it on and off, but one of the biggest reasons why I didn't complete it earlier is because I've been avoiding writing this very involved video description. V.V'
I'll try to be as brief as possible though. Here are some mostly technical-based things you need to know before watching:
-The "Lucy" in the song is Shanti, not Jasmine, though this isn't made completely clear until the second verse.
-Scenes with blurred edges (both colour and grayscale) are usually flashbacks.
-Grayscale and coloured scenes with light rays and clean edges are flash forwards of what could've been.
-Don't expect any other new crossovers any time soon.
READ AFTER WATCHING (TO AVOID SPOILERS):
This is the real-life story that inspired the song "Lucy" and this video:
"[It's] a story about a young girl and a young guy who found themselves in a hard situation. They didn't know what to do when they found out that she was pregnant; they were young, they didn't have any money, they were scared, they didn't want to tell anybody, they didn't know what to do, and the only option that they could see was to terminate the pregnancy. So that's what they decided to do... they went to a clinic, they had the procedure done, and at first they felt relieved that all their problems had gone away. But then something happened that they did not expect... and that's over the next few weeks, which turned into a few months, they began to feel an intense sadness... and a pain and an agony and a guilt that wouldn't go away. They didn't know what to do, so they finally went to see a counselor; they said look — tell us what to do, we just don't know, and the counselor made a suggestion. The counselor said here's what you need to do — stop acting like you had a procedure, and act like you had a death in the family. So the couple went home and they made three decisions; number one, they decided to have a funeral service for the baby; number two, they bought a tiny little headstone; and the last decision to make was what to name the baby. After a couple weeks they finally decided they would call her... Lucy."
